Cancer Therapists in Hoboken, NJ

My style is meeting you, the client, where you are, and gently helping you achieve your goals. I also believe in a client-centered approach with a focus on building a trusting relationship. I have extensive experience in treating patients with anxiety, depression, stress, work-related stress, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have had much success in helping people who want to lose weight and improve their overall well-being. I have years of experience in the area of grief and loss and people coping with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer.

If you are living with or beyond illness and loss or caring for someone who is, either as a family member/friend or professional, seeking out therapy is one way to take care of yourself as you navigate the challenges that come with these experiences. I believe that even in the most difficult times of life, people have an amazing capacity to grow, learn, connect, love, and find meaning and purpose. This can be balanced with the more uncomfortable feelings that come along with illness, survivorship, loss, and caregiving. I offer a non-judgemental and empathic therapeutic space where we will work together to find this balance.

Are you a young adult or adult that has lost a loved one and is experiencing grief? Or are you being impacted by cancer or a chronic illness, either yourself or someone you are caring for? If so, these drastic changes in your life can cause feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Having someone to talk to outside of your friends and family is so important during these difficult times. A therapist can be there as an extra ear when you need someone to talk to understand this difficult life change and to provide the coping skills that you need during these times to help you move forward is so important.

I believe therapy can help individuals harness their strengths and improve coping around challenging feelings and experiences; such as a new cancer diagnosis, chronic illness, terminal illness, grief, anxiety, stress, caregiver issues, life transitions and relationship issues. At a time when you might feel disoriented, stuck or uncertain about how to move forward, I can work with you to explore any potential barriers and identify pathways for growth. To facilitate your navigation, I strive to create an environment that feels safe and free from judgment, where you can feel seen and heard.

Do you repeat patterns of behavior that are unproductive or self sabotaging? Are you sleepless at times and preoccupied with the same script in your head? Perhaps you need assistance overcoming problems with relationships whether professional, peer, family or romantic. It's important for you to have a good quality of life and feel a sense of well being at all ages. I can help you work through the life experiences that make you uncomfortable and anxious. The fact that you are uncomfortable is good news. You are ready for change.

You are a young adult who isn’t feeling like yourself and you don’t know where to begin. You may be going through a transition in life that is difficult to navigate. You’re dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, or addiction. Perhaps you are starting a new job, going through a breakup or graduating college. You are experiencing feelings of frustration, sadness, mood instability, stress, increased substance use, and lack of motivation. My goal is to provide you with a comfortable, safe space where we can work together on your goals, as I draw from your existing strengths.

The choice to pursue therapy is important, as is finding the right fit in a therapist. I work in a collaborative style with clients to maximize their time and get the most out of the process as possible. I am not locked in to any one style of therapy, rather I try to work with what works best for each individual. That said, I believe our history shapes who we are, but we also need to deal with practical solutions in the here and now. Therefore, we have to balance both to make lasting change.

Life comes with numerous peaks and valleys. Specifically, I work with clients who are interested in exploring the connection between early childhood/adolescent experiences and how these moments impact adult lives and relationships. All of us carry our histories - and moments of both joy and sorrow - with us as we move through the world. It's useful to examine any patterns in our thought processes and behavior in order to identify ways to move forward, confront challenges, increase self-awareness and - perhaps most importantly - offer ourselves compassion for our previous experiences.

Do you feel stuck, stressed, anxious or depressed? Psychotherapy can help when the same old, same old isn't working anymore. The goal is to help you find your way to a better place within a private and confidential relationship. One of the primary components of successful treatment is the therapeutic relationship. Ideally there is a give and take between a client and their therapist and I strive to create a safe and informal environment so that this can take place. My focus is working with high functioning adult clients who are actively engaged in discovering new ways of being. Please go to debsteigerlcsw.com for more info.

We are simply living in uncertain times where our lives are being forced into a new way of being. At times, it seems we have few choices and possibilities which can lead to feelings of doubt, worry, intense sadness, restlessness, self-blame, frustration and/or a sense of not being fully alive. Simply said, feeling unhappy. Therapy/counseling offers an avenue to understand what is happening to us emotionally and provides an experience that can empower you to make choices about your life. It is a choice to find a way to come out of this period of time as a better version of our selves than we started.

It requires a lot of strength and courage to ask for help. Reaching out can be scary and unsettling, but you don't have to do it alone.

A strong therapeutic alliance is the key in ensuring honest, open, and constructive communication. In my sessions, I like to work together as two experts tackling your problems. I am direct, interactive, and genuine and will always be honest and upfront with you.
